Sounds like you waited too long on the wires and you over heated the coils. (bad wire cause hight voltage.) The coils are failing internally. Spark tester would help track it down.
Ok, I may not be a jeenyus all the time, but I can tell you your alternator shouldn't be shooting out sparks. It could be shorting out the electrical system, or causing a voltage spike, depending on what's wrong. I'd get that alternator problem taken care of first, it could be related to your misfire problem. Have the alternator checked. If it checks out alright, look to your wiring as the problem.
